A Few Words About Safety

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. Operating this vehicle safely is an important responsibility. To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating procedures and other information on safety labels and in this manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all hazards associated with operating or maintaining a vehicle. You must use your own good judgement.

You will find important safety information in a variety of forms, including:

● Safety labels on the vehicle

●

Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert symbol and one of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These signal words mean:

3DANGER

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

3WARNING

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

3CAUTION

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

Safety Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:

● Perform all routine and regular inspections

specified in this manual.

● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flames

away before filling the fuel tank.

● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly

enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.

Always Wear a Helmet

It's a proven fact: helmets and protective apparel significantly reduce the number and severity of head and other injuries. So always wear an approved helmet and protective apparel. 2 P. 10

Before Riding

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally focused, and free of alcohol and drugs. Check

that you and your passenger are both wearing an approved helmet and protective apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding onto the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you in turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs, even when the vehicle is stopped.

Take Time to Learn & Practice

Even if you have ridden other vehicles, practice riding in a safe area to become familiar with how this vehicle works and handles, and to become accustomed to the vehicle's size and weight.

Ride Defensively

Always pay attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an evasive maneuver.

Vehicle Safety

Safety Guidelines

Make Yourself Easy to See

Vehicle Safety

Make yourself more visible, especially at night, by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling before turning or changing lanes, and using your horn when necessary.

Ride within Your Limits

Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and inattention can impair your ability to use good judgement and ride safely.

Don't Drink or Use Drugs and Ride

Alcohol or drugs and riding don't mix. Even one alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. The same is true for drug use. Don't drink or use and ride, and don't let your friends do it either.

Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition

It's important to keep your vehicle properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Inspect your vehicle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (2 P. 16), and do not modify your vehicle or install accessories that would make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 15).

If You are Involved in a Crash

Personal safety is your first priority. If you or anyone else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.

Safety Guidelines

If you decide to continue riding, first turn the ignition switch to the (Off) position, and evaluate the condition of your vehicle. Inspect for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and check the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously. Your vehicle may have suffered damage that is not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility as soon as possible.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colourless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

If you run the engine in a confined or even partly enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide.

Never run your vehicle inside a garage or other enclosure.

3WARNING

Running the engine of your vehicle while in an enclosed or even partially enclosed area can cause a rapid buildup of toxic carbon monoxide gas.

Breathing this colourless, odorless gas can quickly cause unconsciousness and lead to death.

Only run your vehicle's engine when it is located in a well ventilated area outdoors.

Riding Precautions

Running-in Period

During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your vehicle's future reliability and performance.

● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid

acceleration.

● Avoid hard braking.

● Ride conservatively.

Brakes

Observe the following guidelines:

●

Avoid excessively hard braking.

u Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle's

stability.

u Where possible, reduce speed before

turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.

● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.

u The tyres slip more easily on such

surfaces and braking distances are longer.

● Avoid continuous braking.

u Repeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes can seriously overheat the brakes, reducing their effectiveness.

● For full braking effectiveness, operate both

the front and rear brakes together.

Combi Brake

Your vehicle is equipped with a brake system that distributes the braking force between the front and rear brakes. The distribution of the braking force applied to the front and rear brakes when operating the front brake lever only and when operating the rear brake lever only is different. For full braking effectiveness, operate both the front and rear brakes together.

Vehicle Safety

Riding Precautions

Wet or Rainy Conditions

Vehicle Safety

Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet brakes further reduce braking efficiency. Exercise extra caution when braking in wet conditions. If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while riding at low speed to help them dry.

Parking

● Park on a firm, level surface.

● If you must park on a slight incline or loose

surface, park so that the vehicle cannot move or fall over.

● Make sure that high-temperature parts

cannot come into contact with flammable materials.

● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes

and other high-temperature parts until they cool down.

● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock

the handlebar and remove the key and close the shutter when leaving the vehicle unattended. Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

Parking with the Side Stand or Centre

Stand

Stop the engine.

Using the side stand

Push the side stand down. Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.

Using the centre stand

To lower the centre stand, stand on the left side of the vehicle. Hold the left handle grip and the grab rail. Press down on the tip of the centre stand with your right foot and, simultaneously, pull up and back.

Riding Precautions

Grab rail

Centre stand

Left handle grip

Turn the handlebar fully to the left.

Turning the handlebar to the right

reduces stability and may cause the vehicle to fall.

Turn the ignition switch to the (Lock) position (2 P. 34), remove the key and close the shutter (2 P. 35).

● Use only unleaded petrol.

● Use the recommended octane number.

Using lower octane petrol will result in decreased engine performance.

● Do not use fuels containing a high

concentration of alcohol. 2 P. 100

● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or

an oil/petrol mixture.

● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Accessories & Modifications

We strongly advise that you do not add any accessories that were not specifically designed for your vehicle by Honda or make modifications to your vehicle from its original design. Doing so can make it unsafe. Modifying your vehicle may also void your warranty and make your vehicle illegal to operate on public roads. Before deciding to install accessories on your vehicle, be certain the modification is safe and legal.

3WARNING

Improper accessories or modifications can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding accessories and modifications.

Do not pull a trailer with, or attach a sidecar to, your vehicle. Your vehicle was not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your vehicle's handling.

Vehicle Safety

● Carrying extra weight affects your vehicle's

handling, braking and stability. Always ride at a safe speed for the load you are carrying.

● Avoid carrying an excessive load and keep

within specified load limits.

Maximum weight capacity / Maximum luggage weight 2 P. 102

● Tie all luggage securely, evenly balanced,

and close to the centre of the vehicle.
